But new research shows IVF babies are more likely to suffer diseases such as diabetes and to become obese in later life, according to scientists who’ve found that these children’s DNA differs from that of their peers.

I was just a kid but I remember the first "test tube baby" being a big story in around 1978 or so. That's just about 30 years ago. Now this research that indicates increased incidence of diabetes and obesity in those concevied via IVF. Makes me wonder how, if at all, the so-called obesity epidemic of the 90s and 2000s correlates to this situation.

Think the stats re 'Obesity epidemic' are gathered much the same way as were 'global warming stats' and those of H1N1 'epidemic'.

That said; am not disputing problems arising by IVF. . .just not in 'toto' so to speak; but think the 'en masse' approach questionable or should be.

p.s. A bigger question arises here; and that is, are the candidates for such; the 'Mother's-to-be; informed; if only that 'studies are being done' and there are 'suspicions'?

Can see another 'legal network' being developed for what might be 'miscarriages' - of Justice. Sad for all, who may find themselves here.
